It uses a more updated technology framework. It is safer than the WAP app as the device is paired directly with your profile so it is easy to detect when unauthorized activity is being conducted on your profile. The WAP app currently in the market is a browser based app. It is much faster as the transfer of information between the app and the bank systems is much smaller in size as no images or screens are being transmitted as the screens and images sit on the App when you download it from the App store. Try the new one and say hello to beautiful easy banking and never look back!
